Who receives or approves this ITP
Client/Engineer and Principal Contractor for approval.
Inspection scope
Covers TWD approvals, platform inspections, interlock function tests, anchor pull-out proof tests, outrigger level/bearing verification, signage checks, weather/comms checks, and landing verification.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
Hold: anchor proof tests; return-to-service after critical repair; first-of-type platform use. Witness: outrigger setup; signage checks; monthly interlock tests.
Typical inspection records
Permits to Lift/Load, anchor test reports, interlock test sheets, platform checklists, lift plans, weather logs, and photographic evidence.
Important approval note
This ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point, not a pre-approved document. Before use on any project, all inspection activities, hold points, and acceptance criteria must be reviewed and approved by the relevant parties (superintendent, principal contractor, or client representative) in accordance with your contract and project quality plan.
Always verify acceptance criteria against your applicable drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements. Hold points must be confirmed with the relevant authority before work proceeds past that point.
